The insight is grounded in a clear behaviour shift: consumers are increasingly driven by the desire to explore new flavours when choosing food and drinks. This maps strongly onto Southeast Asia’s experimentation mindset:
- 54% of Filipino consumers say they look for new foods/flavours to try most of the time
- 41% of Thai Consumers want drinks that challenge their senses through taste and aroma
- Meaningful shares across Southeast Asia agree they enjoy “breaking the rules” in what they eat/drink (including 41% of Singaporeans aged 18-34)
